So, are we all going to die fam?
I got my parents calling me, telling me to stay off the back, country roads at night, I've got a cousin getting pulled over and harrassed for being black in the PASSENGER seat, I've got homies getting followed by security in the mall.
It's a bad time to be black.

yea, but can you take down a grizzly bear using only Brazilian Jujutsu?
I can deal with that brand of racism. Beats France's bullshit.
But let me know the BCT is about to actually have a discussion on international racism and its nuances. I'll take this conversation much more seriously lol
Not all of us. Just a lot of us.

DY on dialup getting games 6 months after everyone else and shit.
He go hop on BCT "Anyone else cop the new Destiny 2?" Everyone else like "Nigga we on DLC number 5 bruh"
Niggas always wanna run away on some other shit.
I ain't letting them win that fuckin' battle.
Hell, if it takes violent revolution, so be it.
These mothafuckas ain't running me nowhere. Especially when ain't shit different but the name of the country.
EDIT: JC is my favorite poster, lol...

This is also part of the problem fam. You've got the connects. You were in the military and put that time in. Them African refugees that were getting their asses thrown in the bushes, didn't.
Anybody can get got, but the for the people whom are more likely to get hemmed up by the systemic bullshit going on, they don't have the education, the chance, the opportunity, or the life span to even think about shit beyond surviving.
I'm all about mine, but dawg, this is such an unrealistic ass statement to make to people in general. To me, it goes in the face of some of the ones that I knew/been told stories of, that died volunteering and shit like that.
edit: I don't feel tethered to anywhere, for any reason, but man. lol
lmfao
fam?
lawd
if ain't know any better, i'd say you were in you were feeling some type of way JC?
the weather in hawaii is great btw
according to cnn, all the protestors in ferguson were deviants and looters. just saying
yeah, like everyone above was saying, no place is perfect, but what can you deal with. i can deal with italy's bs much better than america's. especially in the south.

What about family?
I guess if you don't care about them you can leave them behind.

When I was 12-13, I went with my mom to Palermo to visit her dying Grandfather who had moved back to Italy years prior. We straight up got pulled aside and grilled at the airport since they refused to believe that I was her son (my mom is white).
That's my only experience with Italy Lol.

i feel you tho
this was one idea of many i had back when i was in college and it worked adjacent to my other life goals. now its a legit option
its crazy how people don't even consider it though. like - why not even look? what's the harm in that shit? you can plan out what you want to do for spring break but can't look at semester abroad? little shit like that is what keeps you stuck
everyone here does have the opportunity though. everyone reading this. its not overnight and it shouldn't be an all or nothing goal but to not even consider the option is limiting yourself for what's really no reason at all

bitch I'm taking calls.
I agree that it comes down to what you can make work and what you can personally put up with. I don't blame anyone for deciding that means leaving the country, but by that same token I don't want people to be made out to be fools for staying or deciding not to move. I'm not saying that's happening but there is an undercurrent to the discussion where people are getting mad and that might be part of it.
If you can travel, definitely do it and broaden your horizons on with some personal experience in other places. I lived in the UK for four years and wouldn't trade that experience for anything, it really opened my eyes and I feel like changed the person I was in a lot of ways. But if you can't or you are staying and holding it down for your and your family I respect that as well.

u better tell em. There are two types of black males.... the average black male you know... your BCT poster, and then you have:
makes 7 figures, smashes dimes awll day, knows brazilian jujutsu, and has at least 235 different IT certs.
I just want negros to move to a couple of different states before deciding to become experts on moon rocks.
Ehh
On the one hand I dont think you can escape shit since society itself is built upon making one class of people more undesirable then another
However, there is shit outside of US. This notion that you should really only stay in America and that there isnt anything else out there is extremely short sighted as fuck
Its basically what you make it

Goddamn right. Pastels and Stephanie Mills.
So I realized what prompted the great migration. Doesn't change my sentiment. I know damn well that for some moving away may be beneficial and not just random ravings. I wish you all the best on your trek.

Yea, that's real shit. Unfortunate as all hell too, to be stuck in that mindset.
edit:
That line stuck with me as a kid.
With a fuck load of money I would. And a plane ticket back. I'm not going to Africa to reconnect. I'd be going back to make bank.
so don't drink their kool-aid, you know they don't put sugar in it no ways.
I'm not leaving. I might go away, but I come back. Can't get rid of me, America.

Nah, shit works fine when it stays in its lane, it's just never gonna be the futuristic game changer that MS wanted it to be.

If you haven't lived outside the U.S., you need to try it. Every country has problems but not every country is actively trying to wipe us out

Dude is too young to know the struggles of the Sega Activator
I'm definitely leaving. I mean I've only been in the US for 10 years of my life anyway. Shit, Red Cross won't even let me donate blood.

i would say the U-force was probably the worse. Kinect is good for the children.
You got demon blood running through your veins. It's dangerous
